No, we haven't. The great majority of people have always been the filthy, ignorant peasants. It has nothing to do with race or ethnicity or geography either, that's been the case worldwide.

If anything, they've improved. Nearly all of them can read. They bathe. Hardly anyone still shiats in a bucket then throws it out the window without at least looking below to try not to hit anyone.

Reality TV and those hideous talent shows, awful as they are, are still a slightly higher class of entertainment than classics such as watching a chained-up bear torn to pieces by hunting dogs or going to see the hangings that day. People locked in their houses all night out of fear of criminals is better than locked in their houses out of fear of daemons and witches.

It only seems worse because they now have media attention and because ignorant people today think that they have a right to have their stupid, often incoherent ramblings heard and taken seriously by educated people.

It doesn't have anything to do with race. It's stupid people breeding.

(and, yes, the kids names do indicate stupid)

There's a legitimate argument about the culture, and not the race, which which performed this stupid act. I think people here were saying black, african-american, race, and racist in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Of course, someone who has to point out that any person, regardless of ethnicity has a chance of acting like an idiot. Yet, you had to go to a work of fiction to make your point. A work of fiction which depicted a white southerner as an example of over-breeding and willful ignorance.As a teacher in public high school, I can tell you that willful ignorance is colorblind. I have moronic students of each and every race, I also have hard-working students of each and every race. Blacks might or might not be genetically predisposed for stupidity, we'll never know the truth about that one. I can tell you that the culture adopted by a fair number, but not all, of blacks in my school is one of "W.G.A.F.?" when it comes to academics.

Nasty arguments break out in the halls, girls challenging each other to fights while administrators and teachers are within feet. It's a cultural thing, you cannot be perceived as caring about school, caring about authority, or anything other than "keeping it real".

I used to look around and say our future is bleak. If these people are our leaders of tomorrow, we're farked. Then it came to me. We always talk about what it was like when we were in school, heard stories about when our parents and grand parents were in school. We never heard about the really bad cases, if there were any, we only heard about the good and positive things. There have always been terrible students, dumb, students, students destined for ditch digging or multiple fathers. Those individuals never amounted to shiat, there were people willing to work hard, to sacrifice, and to achieve their dreams. They will be the scientists, the doctors, and the professionals of tomorrow. The people who act like this will always be at the bottom socioeconomic rung. Their grandparents were there, their parents were there, their children will be there. It has nothing to do with racism, they're not oppressed by whites at all. They're given the freedom to rise to their own level, it's unfortunate that level is reached about the time of sexual maturity.

I can only imagine how rambling this sounds, I am not going to go back and proof this, I have no empirical evidence to any of this. It's what I see and what I deal with on a daily basis. I think racism is stupid too, not because it's bad for the sake of being bad. I think racism is dumb because for every flaw you can see in a race you look down upon, you can find a great number of your very own race who share that very same flaw. You might not have that flaw, be proud of that. That's not racism, that's individualism. I am, as an individual, better than that asshole who likes to behave in that manner.

WhippingBoy:I saw the article, and I immediately thought "black people!".

I'd like to think I'm not a racist, but I guess I am.

You'd have been racist to think "that proves that all black people are violent" but to see "Shequita", "Quateka" and "Quinnaya" and think "black" is no worse than seeing "Uwe", "Katerina" and "Felicitas" and thinking "German".

it's not race or stupidity. it's culture.there are plenty of stupid asian and jewish americans, but you'll be hard pressed to find them indulging in idiocy like this though, as if they even entertained for a moment a fantasy involving carrying out something like this most would instinctively recognize violating their cultural norms with behavior this extreme is likely to get them ostracized from the community.they have dumb f*cks among their populations, but their culture isn't completely farked out like redneck, ghetto, goomba, attractive and successful Caucasian-American, or southy cultures.culture is everything, but fortunately it, unlike intelligence or race, is not unalterable.

WhippingBoy:I'm actually quite ashamed of myself right now (for real).I saw the article, and I immediately thought "black people!".

i hate everybody & what-not, but the derp on this was so deep it was 50/50 white trash cracker / soul train. asian didn't even flicker on the horizon. nothing from nothing, you go food shopping, asians are almost always an asian couple (?), their children are adorable, and they are the most well behaved little angels you've ever seen. i love those slanty eye bastards, i really do. Easy Money: put out a child rearing how-to with Asian couple/baby on cover and really stereotypical asian names as authors, you'll make a farking fortune, i bet your ass you will.

I went to a predominantly black high school (I find the term "African-American" to be so much BS), and those girls...yikes. Box cutters and bludgeons...I can't imagine their parents...of course, neither can they! Zing!

Eh I don't know maybe if you were to attribute all crime to black people but noticing that a certain group has a propensity towards certain types of behavior IMHO isn't all that racist. If I saw a headline "Man dragged behind pickup truck", I'd think "white" crime. Most things involving meth lab explosions, "white" crime...Not that black people are any less capable of dragging someone behind a pickup truck or mfg. meth, it's just not their style. Now, female hanging from the hood of a Cadillac while throwing shoes screaming he's got crack in the glove box.....
